Here's how Trump's proposed diesel export ban could backfire.⁣ ⁣ The ban forces international diesel demand to 0, and refiners run less crude. That crude is also used to make gasoline.⁣ ⁣ Even Energy Secretary Chris Wright admitted this could push gas prices up. youtu.be/UwsPWUbGUVs

Corporations have been hiring MAGA-world lawyers with ties to Trump to lobby on their behalf. The latest example? Taylor Farms hiring a former Trump White House official as it deals with a cyclospora investigation. This also comes after it donated $1M to Trump's super PAC. See the problem?
